Colour INKspiration #184



Welcome to Colour INKspiration #184! We have a gorgeous colour combination for you for this challenge. The inspiration image was chosen by crew member Alisa Tilsner. A beautiful image to create with.  The succulents look amazing in those bright pots!




With such a rich and happy colour palette I decided to use the Thankful Garden Bundle. The Azure Afternoon was perfect for the Hydrangea. And The Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight for the other flowers was so pretty. Using the mask and a blending brush to colour the images is so quick and fun with amazing results.




All card stock except the sentiment is Basic White card stock. The mat layer behind the blooms was die cut using one of the Textured Notes Dies. These rectangular dies are fast becoming a favourite in my craft room. The floral images were stamped in Memento™Tuxedo Black ink before colouring with the ink using a Blending Brush. I layered the images on top of the mat layer after colouring and die cutting and adhered with Dimensionals. I adhered the Tiny Bee to the top right of the card front using glue.



The sentiment was stamped in Versamark™Ink on Basic Black card stock and the sentiment cut out using a Textured Note Die. I tied a length of the Gold Twisted Thread in a double Bow and adhered it to the back of the Sentiment layer and then adhered the sentiment using Dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will create a project using this colour palette.  If you don't have the exact colours juts substitute for an ink you have. Have fun!

Around the World on Wednesday - Monochrome Colour Challenge



Hello and welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop for March.


Below is an image of where the crew live around the world. It is a wonderful supportive group off creatives. We love to inspire you each month. you may have arrived here from Cheryl Hamilton







This month we have been challenged to create using colour buddies for our monochrome colour challenge. I decided to use my favourite colour green and create a masculine card. I love the tree image for masculine cards and I teamed it with the Sketched Plaid for a masculine back ground.



The card base, mat layer and paid layer is old olive card stock. The plaid layer was stamped in Mossy Meadow. The focus layer is Mossy Meadow and cut with one of the Nested Essentials Dies. I stamped the tree in Mossy Meadow on Old Olive and fussy cut. The sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink on Mossy Meadow card stock and die cut with one of the Nested Essentials Dies. A double bow in Linen Thread under the sentiment completed my card.

I enjoyed the simplicity of creating with colour buddies and only using those two colours. Looking at all the colours you can buddy hop was fun!
